1988 VOLKSWAGEN GOLF Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1988 Volkswagen Golf has two recalls of equal seriousness: a brake line that can wear through and leak fluid, and a fuel hose connection that can leak near hot engine components and cause an engine fire. On the brake side, a missing support bracket allows a preheating tube to rub against the right front brake line over time, eventually wearing through it and causing brake fluid to escape, which can reduce stopping power. On the fuel side, the connection between the fuel hose and fuel rail can seep fuel onto hot engine surfaces, creating a fire risk under the hood.
